Description

Mula sa Panday ng Bud
From the Blacksmith of the Mountains

Pen & Ink study for a Painting

To the Tausug warriors of the Southern Philippines, their weapons are very much a part of their person. Here in this drawing a featured several swords:

The Barong, a short sturdy willow-leaf shaped sword

The Kris / Keris, the wavy bladed sword used in close
combat and water duels

The Kampilan, the long sword with a crocodile motiff

The Lantak, the solid brass-cast cannon

In the background is the pis (woven head cloth) with spells of protection written on it.

The Kampilan design really makes me want to get a sword crafted like that. Looking through your inkings I've also become fond of your sun designs. Paradoxically it gives off as sense of chaotic symetry. I have questions about the cloth but don't want to ask anything that might sound foolish. Great work on this piece!
